Volg goes for a finishing straight now that Ippo is paralyzed, but barely misses. Kamogawa notices that it is the opportunity they had been waiting for after receiving so many hits, and orders Ippo to attack. Ippo delivers a powerful right that knocks Volg backwards, and throws several combinations which Volg is incapable of dodging, as he is he has no more stamina left. Ramuda is in shock at the sight of the talented amateur world champion receiving such beating, but Kamogawa states that in the professional world, with no head gear or safer gloves, stamina runs out much faster. Knowing what punch Ippo will end the fight with, Volg baits him into throwing the gazelle punch. Ippo lowers his stance, but as he throws his finishing move, he realizes the trap he is falling into. Not being able to stop himself, Ippo redirects the hit and lands it to the body. Volg in pain is unable to either attack Ippo or defend himself, and receives a series of hits that send him to the ground.
